    Love this! True, I agree with her, but this is just an awesome example of opinion writing with supported arguments (claims backed by evidence) by a 7 year old. -- Love that she is writing for a real purpose and audience! What real purpose could we have our students write for? And actually mail the letters (and publish on our blogs).

    So often we forget the "Write" at the end! Writing MUST be part of the reading process. It's not a separate subject or time of day.

Creating Cross-Curricular Text Sets for the Middle Grades | MiddleWeb - 0 views

  • To design the text set, each person thought about a theme in the anchor text to explore. In this way, different people designed different text sets around a common anchor text. Next, each preservice teacher began to put a text set together. These requirements framed the assignment: The text set needed to include 6-8 texts, including the anchor text. The text set had to include both narrative and informational genres. The text set had to include both print and digital texts. The text set needed to include texts of varying complexity.
  • The authors inspired us to include both narrative and informational texts. The goals of this assignment were to help preservice teachers (1) understand what a text set is and (2) experience putting a text set together. Although the task seemed daunting at first, most preservice teachers were satisfied with their outcomes. The challenges we ran into included: Selecting an anchor text; Deciding on a theme in the anchor text to explore through the text set; Making informed choices about other texts to include.
  • These standards can seem daunting to preservice teachers. A text set assignment like the one described here is one way  teacher educators can help prepare our university students to plan curriculum and instruction that helps students make deeper connections.

At an East San Jose high school, students react to new Common Core test | EdSource Today - 0 views

  • “With this test, you had to make your point and explain your answer,” said Desiree Jones. “In the future, you may have to do the same thing – back up your claim –where you work. You can’t just say, ‘That’s good.’ You’ll need to say what you think and why.”
  • Citing evidence, defending a position Desiree was referring to the performance assessment part of the test. It represents the biggest change from the state tests.
  • They were asked to take a position, using evidence based on what they read. They could use a split screen to cut and paste from the articles – a task that some students found difficult to do, especially for math problems, using their portable Chromebooks  – and they could write as much and take as much time as they wanted.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Students said there were annoying aspects to doing a test on a computer, but overall they said they preferred it. They said it was cumbersome to type out a formula; they complained there was no scratch paper to solve math problems (actually, scratch paper is allowed, but a proctor on the first day misread the rules).
  • “Geometry concepts are hard to remember,” said Daisy De La Cruz, who is now taking Calculus. Desiree said, “In the past, questions went gradually from easy to hard. This one was jumbled.” Field tests are designed to test the validity of questions, not simulate actual tests that students will take starting next year. As a result, there was an intentional randomness in the question selection and order that caught students by surprise. Questions ranged from pre-algebra they took in middle school to graphing problems in pre-calculus, students said.
